I think the face value ticket I got for the first row (no M&G or any package, just ticket) was around $90 for the NJ show last fall on the second leg of the TA US tour.  Was around $80 for the 20-30th row at RCMH.

I don't recall what face was on the tickets I bought officially, but it sure wasn't $100. When they played Dallas I picked up a scalper ticket for $18 which was inside of 5 rows.

I paid 100 at the Beacon in NYC for Progressive Nation 09.
Wasn't worth it.

I was there, in the last row of the Beacon.  It was $50 for that seat.  Had a great time at that show.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Hey Tim - just so you know, they sent out an e-mail announcing that soon there will be an announcement to let us know that tour dates will still be announced soon. You wanted to know that, right?  :biggrin:
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Melbourne, Sept 20. Got Row C, in the Orchestra pretty close to where JP will be on stage...Yipppeee!!!!  May have one for sale soon at cost $162.00AUS..I will list later in the appropriate topic.
Had to buy extra to get good seats.
Damn Ticketmaster, I aged ten years in that transaction!  :) I hope everyone trying got great seats.
Is DT really charging $162 ($123 US) for a ticket? I get that a lot of that is TM's TT&L, but even $100/ea seems to be well above their station. Is that normal way the hell down there or are DT becoming greedy in their old age?

Yes, that is the price of the ticket only, no meet and greet.... That will be an extra $263 AUS for Platinum which means with extras and photo, or an extra $131.50 AUS for Gold with extras no photo.
I am going to MP in November, I believe that was $250 for what looks like a smaller venue, so I am guessing standing room only and meet and greet.
Yes, us Aussies when we do get any band, singer to come to our shores, it does not come cheap.
I still prefer how Joe Satriani does it, he sells a package ticket and meet and greet, still not cheap so for me that has meant front row every time...
I believe our tickets for Melbourne ranged from just under $100 to the $162 .. which is less the cost of them taking my booking add on another $5.
But I do feel bad for all the fans in WA, SA, QLD and NZ missing out on dates this tour. Not to mention the Southern States of US, I am in New Orleans from Feb 15-24 next year, so I am secretly hoping they tour then... hopefully dates are announced soon.

My uneducated, speculative sense on why their ticket prices are so high is that they've determined it's the best way to make as much money as possible.

Does that mean that shows will be less full? Sure. Along the same lines, does booking zillions of shows in a row mean that they will be less full? Sure. But management probably knows it's the most profitable avenue, so they go that route, even if it's a morale killer to come nowhere close to ever selling out.

or not  :lol  Like what does "soon" mean?  To me it means within the next week or two.  It's been past that (just going by the latest rounds of promotion, if I consider the first round last December then yea it's far from soon).

Last week, I thought a band member per day, dates announced on Friday. You know what would have been the best day to announce the dates? The 25th anniversary of Images and Words!

"Hey, today's the 25th Anniversary of Images and Words and here's another special treat for our US fans. North American tour dates!"

Tickets of US acts in this part of the world is really more expensive given the risks of travel, the logistics, etc. Megadeth just played here and the price range is just slightly below DT and they played 14 songs only compared to DT's two and a half hour show.

Why GREED is the first thing that comes to mind of some people without considering the economics of playing shows halfway around the world, I do not understand.

EDIT: With still two days left for the pre-sale reserved for the fans who made the petition to bring Dream Theater to the Philippines, the seats at the two cheapest sections are alreadys old out. It looks like I would not be able to watch the show because the seats would most likely sell out when the regular sale opens because I do not have internet access on that day. :( Oh well, it's nice seeing a lot of love for the band from this part of the world.

25 minutes after the start of the regular sale of tickets for the DT concert here in the Philippines, and the venue is already 70% full. I am so happy for the band.

Probably because they are only doing 2 shows down there. That's a lot of cost to ship the gear, crew, and band down for only 2 shows.
